WWE held a packed European tryout on March 29 at its Performance Center in the UK—but even days later, no talent has been informed of the results.

According to Fightful Select, WWE has not notified any of the participants whether they passed or will be offered contracts.

“Several UK talent has not heard the results from WWE about how their London tryout went. There was a host of athletes there with no wrestling experience that participated as well”

The tryout brought together a mix of independent wrestlers and athletes from outside the industry, all competing for a shot at the big leagues. Among the names who attended were Rhio, Goldenboy Santos, Zozaya, Man Like DeReiss, Luke Jacobs, Bionic (of Gladiators), Nathan Angel, Rayne Leverkusen, Danny Jones, Adam Maxted, and Spanish athlete Yago Rivera.

The event featured the usual tryout structure—physical drills, promo classes, and early in-ring evaluations. A second round of tryout matches reportedly took place the following day, extending WWE’s scouting process.

While some performers received positive feedback, including reports that certain participants impressed WWE representatives, no official selections or contract offers have been made as of now. Everyone involved remains in the dark, waiting to hear back from WWE on next steps.

With the company continuing to expand its international footprint, it’s likely a few names from this tryout will pop up on NXT UK—or another WWE brand—in the future. But until WWE makes it official, it’s all speculation.
